Towa APN-30, APN-60 and APN-100 – Rectangular and Square Labels
Towa APN manual applicators detach the already printed rectangular or square labels from the roll and apply them to the product with a pressure on the lever. The mechanical sensor detects the label pitch without manual adjustment of the sensor at each format change. They are tools without batteries or electrical power, useful for labeling boxes, packages and articles directly at the work point.

Applications
The APN series is used in the application of identification, warning and promotional labels on packages and packaging. Paper labels on glassine support, with a thickness of at least 50 µm, are recommended. Films and synthetic materials require compatibility testing: the behavior of the support during detachment affects the advancement.
